    Since you’re staying at Sea Shell Coral Cove you can walk straight to the Port Blair jetty and catch a ferry that leaves every 30 45 minutes. The 30 minute ride lands you right on the calm reef where kids can safely try snorkeling with a mask and fins. If you want a bit more activity, bring a small inflatable raft or a beach ball the shallow water is perfect for a quick paddle or a gentle splash. Does anyone have tips on the best time of day for the clearest water?
